I spent 5 years in ESL in school, I take college level writing classes in high school, I'll be able to get this. I've added some things to spice it up, but the original message is still there.

Hmm how about 'Front' door instead of 'Font' door?

How about 'Advance booking' or 'Advance ticket' instead of 'RSVP'?

The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party.

............................................
Please 'wait in the future'???? How about 'please wait'? 'Sorry for  incovenience caused'?  or 'Please  bear with us'?

'December 31st New Year's Eve Party and Countdown!!'

Does New Year's Eve happen in any other months of the year? Does it also happen on any other days in the month? Nope. So we can get rid of 'December' and '31st'. Thus, we can just write 'New Year's Eve Party and Countdown!!'

In Laos, yes. Songkan, the 13th, is the last day of the old year isn't it? 14th is the 0 day, where it doesn't fall in either last or new, and 15th is the first day of the new year. Quite possibly someone could seriously mistaken that for the 13th, seriously lol.

And I couldn't think of Advanced booking at the time, so I thought of RSVP, Kill me would you?

But then again, we don't really count down on Lao New Year's Eve. Or do we?

I would like to add this one from one of Lao Telecom's advertisement about its Internet services. It reads "Monthly payment is US$32 per month".

This one from one of NGO's service contract. It reads:

"Lao People's Democratic Republic
Peace Independence Democracy Unity Porperty
"
